Should you be afraid?

Sometimes people who witness the power of the vision technology at the Vision Force Academy, become fearful about it falling into the wrong hands.

Technology is separate from morality.

Give people a more powerful way of doing something and it can empower both the good guys and the bad guys.

Take a hammer for example. This tool can be used to build a beautiful piece of furniture or destroy it. A gun can be used to defend innocent lives or to take them.

So people ask me all the time if I fear this technology falling into the wrong hands. My answer is always, "No." Why? Because of the side effects.

One of the side effects of using the VisionForce methods is that it EVOKES the human spirit... You almost can't help it.

Simply using the VisionForce technology calls you AND the people around you to greatness.

So, give the VisionForce technology to a terrorist who has plans to lead a group of other terrorists to take innocent lives and what will happen?

The more he or she uses the technology, the more he/she will awaken to humanity in the enemy, and will feel called to stand for all those around him--not just for himself and his cause.

It's like giving a criminal a gun, and every time he uses it, he becomes a better person, as do the people he shoots.

Pretty cool, huh? (Of course, we're not talking of shooting ANYONE!)

This is why I am not concerned about who gets their hands on our proprietary methods. At the Vision Force Academy, we aim to teach this technology to ALL groups, ALL parties, ALL nations, ALL religions...NO MATTER THEIR BELIEFS.

I see it time and time again... people with opposing judgments and beliefs come together and find common ground in their NATURAL HUMAN VALUES.

Our methods hold the promise of world peace, peace in the Middle East, peace in the streets of LA, peace in marriages, peace in the workplace, AND... Far more than peace.

Indeed, peace is not the end. It is just a beginning.

The VisionForce is a growing movement of visionaries who stand for a world where all human beings live from their deepest human values... where all human beings live true to their nature as heroic beings and visionaries.

That, too, is a promise of the VisionForce, and the Vision Revolution!

In the coming weeks, the Vision Force Academy will announce a new 1-day workshop that introduces peopleto the Mind of the New Revolutionary.

We will start in Austin. If you're interested in a FREE ticket, please subscribe to the newsletter on this page (top left). You'll hear more on the revolution in the days ahead!

Until then, I am your connection to the new revolution.

Hi, I'd like your assistance in compiling a very long list of visionary quotes... revolutionary quotes...

Quotes that speak to the up and coming revolutionaries... quotes that speak to who we must be and how we must live..

Here are two to start, then post your own by clicking the Comments link below...

"A Society that is in its higher circles and middle levels widely believed to be a network of smart rackets does not produce men with an inner moral sense; a society that is merely expedient does not produce men of conscience. A society that narrows the meaning of "success" to the big money and in its terms condemns failure as the chief vice, raising money to the plane of absolute value, will produce the sharp operator and the shady deal. Blessed are the cynical, for only they have what it takes to succeed." --- The Power Elite by C. Wright Mills


"Few are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of the colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change. Each time a person stands up for an idea, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, (s)he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." -- Robert F. Kennedy

Recent cartoons depict the Prophet Mohammed, founder of Islam, as a terrorist with a bomb on his head. Violence is now breaking out in all corners of the world by Muslims offended by the cartoons.

Wars have been started by as much as an insult. The recent riots around the world could be what sparks our next world war... a war like no other... unseen enemies with access to nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological weapons... or any combination thereof.

Here in America, there is fear, there is confusion, there is anger, self-righteousness... Everyone has an opinion. "Free speech is a right, so to hell with them!"

No matter the opinion, what are we going to do about the growing international conflicts that are now spreading deeply into Western territory?

Consider that there are new and higher levels of communication and conflict resolution that we could all rise to as human beings.

Consider that the issue at hand is much, much larger than free speech. The protestors? They see no pathway out of their situation. No wonder we often see them behaving like caged animals. And now the fear is everywhere, including here in America. We are tempted to respond to their violence with more and more of our own. It's a vicious downward spiral.

What if a few among them, and a few among us, stood up to take a stand for something much greater than free speech, far greater than respect for beliefs.

What if we learned to see and call forth the greatness in ourselves and each other, as Gandhi did?

We really must look at how we respond to their words and actions. Are we really willing to wait for the other side to grow up and respect free speech, or respect our beliefs? Like the pouting teenager who knows he's right and the other person is wrong?

Our context for dealing with conflict MUST move beyond who is right and who is wrong if we are to survive the decade.

I say it really is possible to lead ourselves and everyone out of this mess, but it won't happen by just expressing our feelings or reacting or pointing fingers.

There are simple dynamics about communication and relationships, that if exercised by our "leaders," could really call forth the greatness in all sides. We really could unite behind a common stand for human life.

This seemingly impossible fantasy will grow into an obvious, practical path as new evolving technologies and methods for communication and conflict resolution are revealed in the coming months...

In just the way that the idea of space travel seemed impossible to the avg person in the early 1900s, the idea of communicating and resolving conflict in a way that calls all sides to greatness seems impossible today.

Yet to the people working on space travel technology in the 50s and 60s, it was beyond possible. It was a given. It was a future reality. The technology and processes we work with at the Vision Force Boot Camp have given me that kind of vision for the future. I see on a level of knowing that human beings can and will rise to a new level of being and communication in the years ahead. And, it MUST happen sooner rather than later.

Making money and "success" will not be that important to us after terrorists nuke a few US and European cities and are threatening to randomly nuke a few more. Escalating force and violence will only make things worse. We need new methods for conflict resolution and we need them now.

So, you'll be seeing me and others like me on the national and world stage in the coming years. We have something to say, something that we are in a unique position to say, to do and to teach. And we're ready.

For me with the Vision Force Academy, it's not about helping people become successful. That is great work to offer the world. Yet we must reach the people who are really up to causing change, because our processes gives them real tools and solutions to be effective in causing the kind of positive change they seek... beyond self-improvement.

We're up to finding ways to communicate all of this over the coming year. Are you one of them?
